to Âsvalâyana, the pupil and successor of Saunaka[1]. These two names of Saunaka and Âsvalâyana are frequently intermixed. If, however, in certain MSS. the whole of the Aitareya-âranyala is sometimes ascribed either to Âsvalâyana or Saunaka, this is more probably due to the colophon of the fourth and fifth Âranyakas having been mistaken for the title of the whole work than to the fact that such MSS. represent the text of the Âranyaka, as adopted by the school of Âsvalâyana.

The first Âranyaka has five Adhyǎyas:
1. First Adhyǎya, Atha mahâvratam, has four Khandas, 1-4.
2. Second Adhyǎya, Â tvâ ratham, has four Khandas, 5-8.
3. Third Adhyǎya, Hiṇkârena, has eight[2] Khandas, 9-16.
4. Fourth Adhyǎya, Atha sǔdadohâh, has three Khandas, 17-19.
5. Fifth Adhyǎya, Vasam samsati, has three Khandas, 20-22.
